Description

American bluegrass musician and songwriter Claire Lynch has one of the best voices in bluegrass. She is a three-time winner of the International Bluegrass Music Association's "Female Vocalist of the Year" award and a three-time Grammy nominee. Her 12 albums have garnered numerous awards and nominations, and she received the prestigious Walker Fellowship Award in 2012. Claire's "North By South" album – a collection of her favourite songs by Canadian singer-songwriters – was nominated as "Best Bluegrass Album" at the 2016 Grammy Awards. Claire has recorded with Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Alison Brown, Dolly Parton, Pam Tillis, Ralph Stanley, Jim Hurst, Patty Loveless, Kathy Mattea, Jesse Winchester and many more. The Claire Lynch Band features Mark Schatz, Bryan McDowell and Jarrod Walker, among the most accomplished musicians in the industry. This is Claire's first visit to Canada's National Capital area, home of Juno Award winner Lynn Miles. Claire included Lynn's song "Black Flowers" on her Grammy-nominated "North By South" album, and the two have subsequently become friends. Claire is delighted that Lynn will be performing in the concert with The Dusty Drifters, a beloved Ottawa-based bluegrass band.
